EXAMPLE Writing a Sstem of Linear Inequalities Write a sstem of linear inequalities represented b the graph. The horizontal boundar line passes through (0, ). So, an equation of the line is. The slope of the other boundar line is and the -intercept is 0. So, an equation of the line is. The shaded region is above the solid boundar line, so the inequalit is. The shaded region is below the dashed boundar line, so the inequalit is <. The sstem is and <.
